BACKGROUND: Malaria is caused by protozoa of the genus Plasmodium and transmitted by Anopheles mosquitos. In the US, blood donors are assessed for malaria risk, including donor travel or previous residence in endemic areas and history of malaria by questionnaire and deferred for three months or three years, respectively. METHODS: The Procleix Plasmodium Assay is a qualitative nucleic acid test based on transcription-mediated amplification (TMA) for the detection of 18S ribosomal RNA of P...

BACKGROUND: Athletes are a key group from which likely eligible donors could be sourced. While blood donation has been popularized as detrimental to athletic performance, little is known about how athletes perceive blood donation. The aim of this study was to investigate athletes' perceptions of the impacts of donating blood on their athletic performance and whether these influence their engagement with blood donation. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: A total of 175 athletes (78 donors; 97 non-donors) prescreened as eligible to donate blood in Australia completed an online survey assessing the perceived impact of (i) donating blood on engagement and performance in physical activity (type of impact, direction, and duration) and (ii) engaging in physical activity on blood donation (magnitude of impact and modification of behavior)...

BACKGROUND: Autotransfusion following vaginal delivery has not been as widely adopted and existing data on this topic are limited to small case series. METHODS: This is a single-center retrospective matched cohort study. Deliveries exposed to autotransfusion during obstetric hemorrhage were matched to unexposed controls with obstetric hemorrhage who did not receive autotransfusion. The primary outcome was allogeneic transfusion of packed red blood cells. Planned secondary analyses included change in hemoglobin following delivery, composite maternal safety outcomes, and unplanned postpartum health care utilization...

BACKGROUND: Increasing the number of collections of whole blood-derived platelets (WBDP) and lengthening the allowable storage time may alleviate platelet (PLT) shortages. There is a need for new PLT pooling sets that can provide acceptable quality on Day 7 of storage. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: This pool-and-split study compared WBDP prepared using the platelet-rich plasma method with the novel IMUGARD WB PLT pooling set and a control pooling set. After pooling and filtration, PLT products were tested on Days 1, 5, and 7...

BACKGROUND: Human Circovirus 1 and 2 were recently described in a French hepatitis case and in two Chinese drug users. Because of its small size and presumable high resistance to both inactivation and removal by nanofilters, such viruses-if determined to be even pathogenic-should be considered with respect to the safety of plasma derivatives. We, therefore, investigated the prevalence and titer of these viruses in plasma pools before fractionation. METHODS AND MATERIALS: We tested for the presence of Human Circovirus 1 and 2 by qPCR in 48 plasma pools derived from healthy donors from Europe, USA, and Japan, corresponding to more than 200,000 plasma donations...

BACKGROUND: Although transfusion management has improved during the last decade, orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) has been associated with considerable blood transfusion requirements which poses some challenges in securing blood bank inventories. Defining the predictors of massive blood transfusion before surgery will allow the blood bank to better manage patients' needs without delays. We evaluated the predictors of intraoperative massive transfusion in OLT. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Data were collected on patients who underwent OLT between 2007 and 2017...

BACKGROUND: Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder of platelet glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptors. Pregnant patients with GT are at increased risk of maternal and fetal bleeding. There is a paucity of literature on the peripartum management of patients. CASE DESCRIPTION: We present the antepartum through the postpartum course of a patient with GT who was managed by a multidisciplinary approach that included communication across maternal-fetal medicine, hematology, transfusion medicine, and anesthesiology services...

BACKGROUND: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by red blood cells (RBCs) throughout their life-span and also during hypothermic storage when they accumulate in the blood bag. We queried whether stored RBCs with increased cation permeability, either from donors with familial pseudohyperkalaemia (FP) or caused by irradiation, vesiculate more readily. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Recent technical advances have revealed at least two sub-populations of MVs in RBC storage units: macrovesicles (2-6 μm) and microvesicles (1-2 μm)...

BACKGROUND: Antibodies against human neutrophil antigen (HNA) are involved in the pathogenesis of neonatal alloimmune neutropenia, autoimmune neutropenia, and transfusion-related acute lung injury. The present methods for anti-HNA antibody identification strongly depend on the presence of standard antisera with known allo/isospecificities. Here, we aimed to produce recombinant humanized antibodies to HNA from available mouse monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs). STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: RNAs were extracted from available hybridoma cells producing mouse anti-HNA antibodies recognizing HNA-1a (TAG-1), -1b (TAG-2), -2 (TAG-4), and FcγRIIIb, and the cDNA was synthesized...

BACKGROUND: Red blood cell wastage occurs when blood is discarded rather than transfused, and ineffective ordering results in unnecessary crossmatch procedures. We describe how a multimodal approach to redesigning electronic ordering tools improved blood utilization in a pediatric inpatient setting and how using innovative application of time series data analysis provides insights into intervention effectiveness, which can guide future process improvement cycles. METHODS: A multidisciplinary team used best practices and Toyota Production System methodology to redesign electronic blood ordering and improve administration processes...

BACKGROUND: Accurate antibody titration is crucial in prenatal evaluations to identify patients who need clinical monitoring for hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) causing fetal anemia. This study compares the established gold standard method of manual tube saline indirect antiglobulin testing (SIAT) with the newer automated solid phase (ASP) method of antibody titration and aims to establish the critical titer threshold for ASP that corresponds to the previously established SIAT critical threshold of ≥16 used in our laboratory...

BACKGROUND: Accurate blood type data are essential for blood bank management, but due to costs, few of 43 blood group systems are routinely determined in Danish blood banks. However, a more comprehensive dataset of blood types is useful in scenarios such as rare blood type allocation. We aimed to investigate the viability and accuracy of predicting blood types by leveraging an existing dataset of imputed genotypes for two cohorts of approximately 90,000 each (Danish Blood Donor Study and Copenhagen Biobank) and present a more comprehensive overview of blood types for our Danish donor cohort...
